Getting to know Shawn Foster

I’m an Army veteran and experienced therapist who finds peace and inspiration in the natural world. I believe true growth comes from living your values and making real, experiential change. Whatever the space, office, or outdoors, I'll be there to encourage your growth with active listening, skill building, direction, and action. My approach I work with a mix of tools like ACT, EMDR, and Adventure Therapy to help you handle tough thoughts and experiences. These approaches give you practical ways to take control of your emotions and actions—whatever fits you best. If needed, we can also bring in mindfulness or medication options. Your goals and progress come first. We’ll face the challenges head-on and build strategies to help you move forward with confidence. My focus Whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, or just a deep sense that something isn’t right. You could be pulling away from the people and things you care about, stuck in self-doubt, or avoiding parts of life that you value. If you’re ready to take the first steps toward something different, I'm here for you. My communication style I’m all about keeping things clear and open discussions. I listen closely and give you space to share and reflect, kind of like having a steady teammate by your side. When things get tough, you can count on me to stay calm and patient yet focused on your goals. My journey to mental healthcare My path to therapy started with a real curiosity about how people bounce back from tough times—and a drive to help others find that strength too. My time in the Army and working on a crisis unit showed me firsthand how powerful resilience is, and how important it is to have someone steady in your corner during the hardest moments. Those experiences solidified my commitment to walk alongside people on their journey to recovery. I firmly believe everyone has the ability to grow and change for the better. Watching my clients build confidence or find peace is what keeps me going.
